4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Rack mounting
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack
mount wings which can be installed on the side panels of the
console.
Before you can attach the rack mount wings to the mixing
console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and
right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two wings
onto the console, being careful to note that each wing fits a
specific side. With the rack mount wings installed, you can mount
the mixing console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure
to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and do not place the
mixing console close to radiators or power amps, so as to avoid
overheating.
+
Only use the screws holding the mixing console
side panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts.
4.2 Cable connections
You will need a large number of cables for the various
connections to and from the console. The illustrations below
show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-grade
cables.

4.2.1 Audio connections
Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs
and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the
balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure that
ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug (or pins 1 & 3
in the case of XLR connectors).
+
Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR
connectors (pin 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC inputs
if you intend to use the phantom power supply.
